One ballot for United States Senator seems to
be the daily limit of the joint convention. It is
becoming as tedious as thrice-told tale. which
no arts or grace of the narrator can freshen.
Senator Smith and Speaker Sayre follow rieidly
the formula of direction, the vote being called
without an enlivening incident and the vote
nounced in stereotyped phrase. AS soon as the
total-Harrison, 20 II; Turpie, "a or IS, and

move an adjournment, which induces jocose Dem
ocrats to call for division, which is
never carried out. The Dickerson and
Connolly pair remained in force yes

these two institutions

Afternoon Session.

Mr.. VanSlyke introduced bill providing for
loan of 81, 000. 900 to pay the interest on tenn
porary loans and to provide for a sinking fund.
Mr.. Grose spoke on his appropriation bill at
some length, insisting that the amounts were
absolutely necessary. There in the asylum
here about 800 patients, while in the county
poor houses over the State there are over ,000
the condition OF many of whom s worse than
number outside of these institutions
1t is estimated that the whole number is about
1900. The estimated capacity of the new asy-
lums is as follows: Logansport, 400: Richmond,
400, and Evansville, 300; total. 1,100. But by
reason Of certain changes that have been made
they will probably accommodate 1900 There
are enough insane and idiotic persons In the
State to fill these three asylums as soon as they
are finished next summer. and three more like
them. The commissioners having charge of
these buildings could stop work. out they ought
not do that; but the buildings ought to be com
pleted, and the necessary appropriation made
for that purpose. The demand for money for
the completion of the State house was impera-
tive. Men had been paid in certificates, and
they needed their money. He had promised not
to vote for any appropriation bill until he voted
for this one, and he had not; and when he drew
his pay as q member of the House he felt that

amounts should not be raised by taxation, be-
cause the money could be obtained for 81 or 4
per cent. interest, and this should be DONE and
the debt be then paid off by the creation of a
sinking fund.
Mr.. Patton in a long speech opposed the ap-
preparations: The instructions in putting up
these buildings were to favor Indiana as far as
possible for material used. Yet the contractors
had sent to Italy for marble pillars on which
there was . duty of $4,000, and had sent to
Michigan for chairs arc desks The number OF
insane and idiotic persons was overestimated.
The buildings were going to cost much more
than was intended.
Mr.. Gordon, supported by Mr.. Kellison, moved
to re-commit the bill and give authority to the
committee to make certain investigations into
